mangled, the different parts being
scattered along the track for dis

The results of the county elec-
tions, in Virginia, May the Goth,
show Democratic gains sufficiently
decided to make it certain that the
Democrats will carry the State i'm
the fall, and elect Il Senator to sue
ceed Riddleberger. The victory is
distinctly an administration tri-
umph. The color line was evident
ly broken down. In localities
where negro voters have hereto
fore been unanimously Republi-
can they voted the Democratic
ticket this year. This happy fea-
ture of the situation is largely due
to the policy pursued by General
Fitz Hugh Lee in his canvass and
since his election as Governor
Erchange.

An exchange says new type of
oats vender is now working the
farmer. His mode of operation is
to allow the farmer to work his
own farm on shares. In other
werds he furnishes the seed and
the farmer agrees to SOW the same
and do all the work of raising the
crop, and deliver half of it to the
railroad station free of charge, SUBJ
ject to the order of the agent or
company. The farmer also binds
himself not to sell his half of the
oats for a period of three years, un-
less at the stipulated price of $3.50
per bushel. Several farmers have
invested in the scheme, and time
will tell what is now only a con-
lecture. One thing is certain-thc
agent can lose nothing, as the
farmer does all the work and pays
the agent for letting him do 1t.

George was Inside.

The son of u well-known New
Yorker left the city last summer
and went to India to make his
home with an uncle who had grown
rich in the Orient. Several months
ago the family received q letter
from the uncle saying that his
nephew was dead and the body
had been embalmed and sent home
by sailing ship. Last week the
vessel arrived here, and the young
mans parents attired in deep
mourning, went to receive the re-
mains. A peculiarly shaped box
was delivered to them, and was
removed to their home. When
the undertaken opened the chest
to give the parents a last look at
the bodyit was found to contain a
large Bengal tiger. The surprised
father at once cabled to his broth
er in India: "Some mistake I:
Georges body not arrived; coffin
contained Bengal tiger" Last
night this answer was received:
"No mistake George inside tiger"
